This week Dr. Kirsten Zemke is talking television theme music! Together, she, Rachel and Zoë delve into the auditory realms of Hawaii Five-0, Twin Peaks, and Peter Gunn much to their and the texters' delight.
Fabian's here with all his latest recommendations in film! This week he reckons ones to check out are Let Him Go, an American neo-Western drama starring both of Superman's parents (no relation to this film's content however), and the new Six60 documentary. Both will be out in actual, physical cinemas, so pop along if that sounds like a bit of you.
It's a sunny Friday morning in the bFM studio and Rachel and Zoë are coffee'd up and raring to go.
They kick off by chatting movies with Fabian Fanboy.
They then elegantly segway into the Travelling Tunes segment with Dr. Kirsten Zemke who this week takes them down the glorious rabbit hole of television theme songs, including the likes of Hawaii Five-0 and Twin Peaks.
Then they're joined in studio by the one and only, force of nature Disciple Pati to talk about her fantastic new release, ATMA. All of this good stuff is of course interspersed with the usual fantastic tunes picked by Rachel.
Check it out and enjoy your weekend!
